Is being a SAHM a Right or a Privilege? It's a private decision between a couple.

Is being on PA a Right or a Privilege? PA is for people who need it but I would not say it's a right or a privilege.

Is being a SAHM on PA a Right or a Privilege? This is wrong. If you can't afford to stay home and survive on what your husband makes, get a job.

Well, I'm a SAHM, and that is a wonderful privilege. I'm not on PA. but I suppose that would be a privilege as well, for those who need it. However, in this country, as the laws are, if you meet the income guidelines, it's also a right.

SAHM is a privilege.
PA if you can not work or have a job and still can't make ends meet.

We resently are having money issues because of hubby lossing hours at work. Well before we ever go on PA I put an ad out for taking in a child to make up the difference. I am no the babysitting type at all. But I am doing what I have to to do.

Yup. And if you don't like it, complain to someone who can do something. No one on cafemom can.

i'm a stay at home mom. only PA we have is my son's health insurance. I say if someone really needs some assistance, they are eligible and they dont abuse the system, they should have the right and no shame to use it. I think being a sahm mom is both a priviledge and a right. But I dont judge anyone who works away from home and pays for daycare. As long as the child is loved is to the fullest is all that matters.
